Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport (TNA) serves as Shandong’s main international and domestic gateway, handling both full-service carriers and a growing number of low-cost operators. Located about 33–38 km northeast of downtown Jinan, the airport is typically reached by taxi (around 40–60 minutes, fares can vary), airport shuttle buses (roughly 50–70 minutes, modest fares), and private transfer services. Train connections require a change; expect longer transit times. Fares and travel times depend on traffic and service chosen, with taxis generally costing more than shared shuttles. Pros: relatively modern facilities and direct flights across China and to some international destinations. Cons: distance from the city center can add time and cost, and peak periods may mean longer waits for ground transport.
Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the primary international gateway and full-service hub, handling most long-haul flights and major carriers such as Korean Air and Asiana alongside many global airlines; it is typically viewed as a mid-to-premium option. ICN lies about 48 km west of central Seoul, with express trains taking roughly 45–60 minutes (fares near moderate-to-high), airport buses 60–90 minutes (moderate fares), and taxis around an hour depending on traffic. The airport tends to be spacious and well-equipped, though the transfer distance to the city can add time and cost. Gimpo (GMP) acts as a smaller domestic and short-haul international airport, often serving low-cost and regional carriers; it’s much closer to downtown (10–20 minutes by subway or 20–40 minutes by car), so fares and commute time are usually lower, but terminal facilities are more compact.
